Time for new memory

[lampybc2]

i was playing the BF3 beta and found it was using nearly all of my ram and not being able to have anything else open wondering what new ram i should get i am looking for the most and the fastest for this board: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. EP43-DS3L

at the moment i have: Kingston KVR800D2N6K2 4GB

would 2 of these work so 8GB total doubling what i have now:
G.Skill F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK (2x2GB) DDR2

Better off with these:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146693
$44 Mushkin Enhanced 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (same speed as the ones you have)

However are you running a 64bit OS? If not, getting more RAM is pointless (32bit can only use up to 4GB).

 

[lampybc2]

yes i am running 64bit os

and unfortunately i live in Australia so i need to buy from ebay or pc case gear ideally

Consider buying from MSY - significantly cheaper than PC Case Gear, and a better choice than eBay

MSY sells GSkill and Patriot - both good brands.

ok so i have been looking on the MSY website (online) and as far as i can see i can get

Patriot-Signature 2GB DDR2 800 RAM
http://www.msy.com.au/product.jsp?productId=5311

Kingston Value 2GB DDR2 800 RAM
http://www.msy.com.au/product.jsp?productId=5399

Kingston Value 4GB Kit(2Gx2) DDR2 800 RAM
http://www.msy.com.au/product.jsp?productId=5408



thats what i "think" will fit my computer that they have on the site can anyone tell me if im right and which one they think will be the best or if there is something else they recommend

EDIT - cant get from this website they dont deliver and i don't live anywhere near a branch

 

[lampybc2]

so back to my initial question will

would 2 of these work so 8GB total doubling what i have now:
G.Skill F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK (2x2GB) DDR2


or is there something better anyone can find on either eBay or pc case gear?

It should work, however it will downclock that G.Skill DDR2 1066 RAM to equal the Kingston DDR2 800 you already have (if they are even compatible). Honestly I'd say if they arent too expensive, pick up 2 sets of the 1066 and replace the 800.
